just another day

Senator Joe Lieberman has apparently failed to win his parties nomination for the Senate race this autumn. Pundits everywhere are weighing in with analysis upon analysis as to the 'why' of this happening. The Senator has said that he will run in November as an independent.

I hope that he makes it, if for no other reason that it would be nice to see an independent elected outside the usual party machinations.

That being said, he is not from my state, and the fact the voters in his state gave him the boot should not be projected forward as being representative of the way that voters in other states reach conclusions.

Did you get all that?

I know little of the Senators record or positions, but he was a part of the losing ticket in 2004. Maybe his number just came up....
